A new National Nature Reserve was formally created yesterday by Natural England. Wild Ennerdale is the ninth largest reserve in England, and one of the first 'Super NNRs' recognised for their landscape-scale approach.
Saw this on the news last night. It's over a decade since I was last there but I've always thought Ennerdale is the most 'Scottish' of the Lakeland dales in terms of feel and character. Probably a lot of it is down to no road and its location out in the far west away from most of the day trippers. Pillar seen from Ennerdale is such an impressive mountain to look at. Puts many a 'dull' Munro to shame.
